The Louisiana Bucket Brigade has created an "Oil Spill Crisis Map" that will allow Gulf Coast residents to report fishers out of work, endangered wildlife, oil on shore, oil sheens and other effects of the oil spill.

Reports can be made at the site, or by texting 504.272.7645, e-mailing bpspillmap@gmail.com, or Tweeting with the hashtag #BPspillmap. Eyewitness reports for the map require a description and location information such as an address or GPS coordinates.

The Greater New Orleans Foundation has opened the Gulf Coast Oil Spill Fund, which will benefit communities most affected by the oil spill in Plaquemines, St. Bernard and lower Jefferson parishes. Donations can be made online at www.gnof.org
